A crosscurricular lesson aimed at my Y8s &amp; Y9s, to try to get them to work out more difficult translations which include different writing/poetry techniques in context. It is also a lot of fun when they pick one of them and produce their own poem in Spanish.

This is a four page guide on all the tenses (times in the past present or future) you will need to complete KS3 and almost all GSCE tasks to an A/A* standard. With informal layout and full explanations of what each tense is, and why, with examples, this is an essential guide to ensure you can write, read, hear correctly and speak good, full sentences in tasks.
Suitable for revision, a lesson guide or familiarising yourself with Spanish grammar for pupils, teachers, tutors and home schoolers. For ages 11 and upwards and even for primary school students if they are advanced students.

I used these resources with Y7 and Y8 on National Poetry Day and they went down very well. The poem is a lovely one about colours, and is very accessible even to Y7s who've only been doing Spanish for a short time. They first read the original poem, practising comprehension and pronunciation, then wrote and illustrated their own version (examples included - excuse the mistakes, they were only in their first month of learning Spanish!).
The original version of the poem includes adjectival agreement, which was good practice for Y8s but caused some confusion and led to some poor grammar in my Y7s' own version as they'd only been doing Spanish for a few weeks and hadn't yet covered adjectival agreement. I've therefore created an adapted version for beginners which removes the need to deal with m/f/pl if pupils haven't done this yet. Apologies for my butchering of the original poem, but it makes it much easier for beginners to adapt!

A lesson intended to be delivered largely in the target language (although this is optional) which is based around the topic of poetry about friends in Spanish.
Resource pack contains:
* A PowerPoint introducing the concept of poetry and some relevant vocabulary, as well as exploring a poem.
* A gap-fill exercise using a poem by Borges along with a YouTube video.
* A word search based around the poetry vocabulary.
* A matching activity based around the poetry vocabulary.
* An ActivInspire Flipboard file with an activity focusing on the use of comparisons as a poetic device.
* A Teachers Notes file to help guide you and allow you to quickly print out the resources you'll need.

Ideal first activity to introduce poetry and translation for the new Specification Spanish GCSE.

Lesson focused on the 2016 Olympic Games where students will be asked to complete 7 different tasks. This lesson includes activities related to the new MFL curriculum: use of authentic resources; importance of culture; poems; translating activities; importance of literacy/grammar; spontaneous speaking; memory and thinking skills. Olympic certificates are also included in the lesson to reinforce the importance of rewards for motivation (gold, silver and bronze).The lesson reinforce the importance of SMSC values incorporating Paralympics activities.

This resource will introduce students to the process of translation, and give them the tools to become translators themselves. Literary translator Don Cellini discusses how he has translated the poem ‘Luminaria’
by celebrated Mexican poet Pedro Serrano, giving an insight into the different aspects of translation. Cellini then offers a literal translation of another of Serrano’s poems, allowing students to create their own more imaginative versions of the poem ‘Película’ or ‘Film’.

Great resource that I normally give to my students in G9. It can be use for iGCSE, IB ab initio / B SL and AS / A levels.
I have taken the watermark so it is easier to distribute.
I appreciate any comments.
Gracias
